PAL-V
opens sales of the first-ever commercial flying car
Dutch flying car manufacturer PAL-V has begun selling its flying car. Its revolutionary and innovative commercial models, the Liberty Pioneer and Liberty Sport, are now ready for both road and air. The flying and driving proof of concept has been tested extensively since 2009, and now has proven technical feasibility and certifiability within the existing regulatory framework. This means the first-ever commercial flying car is a fact.
No-nonsense Dutch design approach
After years of hard work and surmounting the technical and qualification challenges, the PAL-V team succeeded in creating an innovative flying car that complies with existing global safety standards. The Netherlands-based company was funded by a group of professional and private investors, along with the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. In contrast to other flying car manufacturers, PAL-V has used a typical no-nonsense Dutch approach to the development of its first models. The company chose to engineer, design and build a flying car with proven technologies, and fully compliant with existing regulations.
Safe and easy to operate
The new model design for the Liberty Pioneer and Sport was co-created with leading Italian design agencies. The revolutionary models incorporate a unique dual-engine propulsion that increases their safety still further. While driving, the lowered suspension and tilting cockpit add to the sports-car feel. A novel design approach specifically avoids a number of common pilot errors, making the PAL-V Liberty extremely safe and easy to operate.
Pre-sales have already begun, and the first deliveries of road- and air-certified models are scheduled for the end of 2018.
